Ball in cup
Non-notable game. Wikipedia is not for things made up in the pub one day. Has already been speedily deleted as nonsense and recreated. -- RHaworth 11:02, 2 April 2006 (UTC) It's a sport dammit and its not Ball in A Cup its ball in cup. We have a league...there are dozens of us. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.107.132.104 (talk • contribs) *Keep and redirect Ball in a Cup here. This is the stronger article, and I think the anon above is correct as to the preferred name. ProhibitOnions 21:05, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as per the nomination. Jud e (talk,contribs,email) 11:23, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Ball in a Cup. Why spend another day not catching a ball in a cup when you can be catching a ball in a cup? Weregerbil 11:45, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
 * That episode was actually on tonight. The universe works in mysterious ways... -- Kinu  t /c  02:25, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

 * This has nothing to do with "the" ball in a cup game mentioned in the other article that's been around forever. Its length does not make it stronger in any form. -- Kinu t /c  23:28, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed, "stronger" is a relative term, as it's still jokey and full of misspellings and probable vanity. I'll research this some more; till then, my vote is withdrawn. ProhibitOnions 09:23, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Do not redirect to Ball in a Cup, as that should probably be deleted. too.  (Try Googling these terms and you'll see what I mean.)   dbtfz talk 21:52, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Reads like it's WP:NFT.  The "Famous Players" was a good chuckle, though. -- Kinu  t /c  23:19, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Ball in a Cup as this is WP:NFT. I give the writers credit for a very detailed article though! -- Mithent 02:48, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep Every game has it's begining stages, what would have happened if games like baseball and football were shot down because people didn't take them seriously as a game someone invented in their backyard. The fact of the matter is all games have a begining and if ours isn't given a chance how will it ever get off the ground? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Goatdonkey10 (talk • contribs)

 * Delete, utter nonsense and unverifiable to boot. Stifle 23:53, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete: If Wikipedia is this game's only chance of getting off the ground, its pretty clear that it doesn't meet WP:NFT or notability requirements. --Hetar 08:58, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NFT.--Isotope23 16:57, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - i played a game very similar to this when growing up, it is a verifiable game and should not be deleted - Mike Goings —This unsigned comment was added by 68.188.78.114 (talk • contribs).

Redirect to Ball in a Cup Pegasus1138 Talk 03:22, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - i dont see why it should be redirect, ball in a cup and ball in cup are two completely different things and should not be connected. ball in cup should have its own page and is a very real game. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.107.196.115 (talk • contribs).
